    Default Jolida Valve Tube Dac Glass FX Mk3 - new

    Jolida Valve Tube Dac Glass FX Mk3 - new

    Brand new - never used. Well known and regarded warm sounding dac with no opamps

    Unmodified unit in that it comes with Jolida’s own rolled and branded output caps and TungSol new issue vacuum tubes (12AX7 / ECC83). Responds well to tube rolling.

    £340 incl U.K. post - absolute bargain!

    Can be used as a digital preamp as the volume pot works both the RCA outputs and headphone socket. Sounds sweet and very revealing with headphones.

    From the Jolida website:

    A DAC with a heart of glass and no solid state op amps in the signal path.

    Great DAC for a bargain-basement price, recall paying a similar price for a 2nd-hand one. Robert supplied me with a pimped-up version this time last year and I still love it.

    Have a bump on me

    Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    "You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”

    “There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

    Yeah, thanks guys.
    A bargain - still a current model with a USA retail of $525 then add postage and VAT and your looking around £530 to get one here. These are UK voltage (which Jolida do charge for the voltage swap out).

    The Mk2 for sale in the classifieds is a steal too with the extra valves and Clarity Cap ESA upgrade.

    With the volume pot these can be used as a digital pre. Very good with headphones.
